What a great show from Nickelodeon this was, from Nick's own golden era of shows like Doug, Rocko's Modern Life and Pete & Pete among others comes another long awaited gem of a show. The cartoon debuted in 1994 and lasted 4 seasons containing 52 episodes in total.
The premise is the young monsters are in school learning how to scare humans, many times through out the show they venture up from under the dump where they go to school to visit humans and scare them. Lots of hi-jinks and personality can be found in these monsters, fun for all ages! There were many monsters with zany characteristics but the 3 main ones most would remember are Ickis who is located on bottom right of the dvd package art, he could grow large to scare humans, then you had Krumm on the left bottom who carried his eyeballs in his hands or even in his mouth at times and his specialty was using his foul armpit stench to scare which was quite comical. Then we have Oblina a female monster who could pull out her internal organs, transform herself and was one of the best students in the school. They sure don't make many cartoons like this nowdays!

The cartoon rocks, pick it up if you enjoyed the Pixar Monster's Inc movie.
Pros: We finally get to see Aaaah! Real Monsters on DVD and get a full season set and on proper DVD-9s discs and not those MOD burned style discs.
The price is much better then the Amazon Burn on Demand sets were,
Cons: No extras to be heard of. If like Rocko's Modern Life I expect static menu screens and a less than remastered looking picture and I am not sure yet but will these be un-cut episodes?

this is one of my favorite shows growing up. I am so happy they have finally put it on dvd. But i hope this isnt one of those dvds where they only release one season and not the rest like they did to "Malcolm in the Middle" and "King of the Hill". I hope they continue to release the dvds for this show and all the other classic '90s nick shows.
I just got my copy and let me tell you it brings back so many good memories of my childhood. The picture quality is pretty good it has all the first seasons episodes on 2 disks the intro is great hey if your a 90s Nickelodeon fan dont miss out this is one of the best and underrated cartoons ever.
It Released in October 4! :), Kind of lovable from old school nickelodeon, they tried the new nickelodeon acess the old school shows in DVD! When monsters scare guys from halloween -- Ickis, Oblina & Krumm, the trio meets the villan -- Simon, the monster hunter, can they keep the secrets of the monsters safe while on their crazy adventures?'
